PM Shehbaz Directs to Increase Salaries [Updated]

Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has greenlit a 10% increase in salaries of government employees. Initially, the government had settled on a more modest 6% salary bump, but after a chorus of discontent from employees. The revised 10% increase will take effect from next month, offering some relief to employees struggling to keep up with rising living costs. Meanwhile, the government has also approved a 7% increase in pensions.
